My car was indeed assembled in Pennsylvania. However, that is NOT the deciding factor in how a car feels when you drive it. It's the engineering behind it. The Europeans(Germans in particular) engineer things differently than the Japanese, and Americans. That's where a car gets it's "feel." How many people out there can honestly tell me that any given Ford, GM or Chrysler product "feels" the same way as a VW, Volvo, Honda, et al? -Dave '88 GTi 16v (Assembled in Westmoreland, Pa) '88 Vanagon GL Wolfsburg (Assembled in Germany)
